# Importing Layers

Importing layers allows you to bring design elements from existing themes or layouts into your current design. This is an efficient way to reuse branding, graphics, or complex structures without rebuilding them from scratch.

Once imported, these elements function as standard layers that can be adjusted, repositioned, or replaced individually.

#### Importing Theme Graphics

Simple Booth themes are pre-made graphic collections designed around popular holidays and occasions. When you import theme graphics, they can also be applied to your [**Tap to Start**](/copy-of-halo-app/experience-designer/pre-capture/start-screen.md) screen for a consistent visual experience.

1. Open the **Layout Designer** for the layout you want to edit.
2. Select the **+** button in the [**Layer List**](/copy-of-halo-app/layout-designer/layout-designer-overview.md#layer-list).
3. Select **Add theme graphics**.
4. Use the theme browser to search for or browse available designs.
5. Select the theme and tap the **checkmark** to confirm.

All graphics from the theme will be added as separate layers, allowing you to move or resize them independently.

#### Importing From Other Layouts

You can pull specific layers from any [preset](https://app.simplebooth.com/presets) or layout you have previously created.

1. Open the **Layout Designer** for the layout you want to edit.
2. Select the **+** button in the [**Layer List**](/copy-of-halo-app/layout-designer/layout-designer-overview.md#layer-list).
3. Select **Import from other layouts**.
4. Browse your active presets and select the one containing the design you want to reuse.
5. Select the specific layout you wish to import from.
6. **Choose your layers:** Before finalizing the import, you can toggle off any specific layer types you do not want to include.

The chosen elements will be added to your current canvas as individual layers.
